Last Days of Disco

The last few months have been a real struggle for me. Juggling almost full-time work with parenting, with housework, with wife-ing, and then toss blogging on top of that - I'm not going to lie. I am 100 % completely exhaustipated*.

Something's got to give because everything in my life seems to be suffering from the knock on effect of everything else. Every night I race home from work, help with the kids going to bed, and collapse onto the sofa so darn beat down, I can barely muster any energy to open my laptop, let alone use my brain to come up with some content. I've tried. Trust me. I really have, but I feel like I am drowning in over-commitment - it's not a good feeling.

It's with heavy heart that I've decided to put PottyMouthMama into retirement. At least for the next few months.

If you feel a bit jipped, might I suggest you start at the very start of PottyMouthMama? There's four years worth of content, with highlights being Tiny smearing poo everywhere, the Doctor being delicious, and me rummaging through someone else's bin. For. Weeks. On. End.

*exhaustipated was a word a girl that I used to work with always used. I never had the heart to tell her it wasn't a real word. So I always thought of it as a combination of being immensely tired - and constipated - all at once.

It is exhausting juggling it all. Good on you for being able to evaluate and acknowledge that something has to give and then making the tough decisions. Bravo.Have a great rest and hopefully you'll be back in a couple of months. Take care Lexi. xoxox

That work/life juggle sure puts the kaibosh on all things bloggy - I know right where you're coming from, excellent lady. And while you've now thrown me into a tizz, (BECAUSE NOW HOW WILL I STAY (ahem) ON-TREND WITH THE WORLD AROUND ME?) you just enjoy putting your feet up and drinking a relaxed glass of something nice.

PS. I'm drop dead impressed you kept everything going as long as you did. Even more impressed you knew when to 'fold 'em'.

you are one impressive lady achieving all these things and it is totally understandable that you would feel exhaustipated : ) while you will be missed here for the time you're gone we know the most important people in your life will be getting the best, less-exhaustipated version of you and that makes me happy too xx

I feel a bit sad because I just started following you & thought we we were going to get along gangbusters! I totally understand though. Anyway , I'll take your advice & start from the beginning, might hear from you again someday!!

Go for it Lexi - take a break! It will be so good for you and everyone will still be hangin' around when you get back. I've learnt that if blogging is a chore it's not worth it. I hope it enables you to begin to find some balance in all the other things.xx

We understand, completely. And I've often wondered how you manage the daily post on top of everything else you do. But having read your blog every. single. day since forever, I will miss your daily posts.

Thank you for the good times, the belly laughs, the heads ups and the tears. I loved every word.
